SAN DIEGO, TEX, Oct. 18.-The base
ball club of San Diego played match
game in Corpus Christi on the 18th with
base ballers of that city, resulting in de-
feat to the Ssn Diegoites of about Is to
| 10. This wes not to be wondered at, as
our leds have only been practicing short
] lime, and was composed mostly OF young
men, clerks in stores or otherwise en-
gagged in business, which prevented their
giving very much time or attention to
the game; and then, again, as l have
| been informed, they played aginst the
picked players of four clubs in the Bluff
| CITY. This was certainly giving great
advantage by our team, who are mere
lads, the most of them, to their antagon
| lists. l. is true our Uniques had the
starch taken out of them, but the Bluff
City can't brag, for they did not beat half
as badly as they were beaten in our little
burg short time ago.

We learn that the Texas Mexican will
commence to run two trains daily after
